Regarding Wbar: On that I definitely have to agree with you as to it being a true "gem of gems"! I've tried several of these "iBar/iDock" look-a-likes (AWN and SimDock being two that come to mind right off) but nothing can compare to this Wbar. It's in a league and class by itself being so lite on resources, easy to configure with a text file, etc. Seems to run on just about everything and every desktop (even some the coder said it shouldn't).

I've too been enjoying that HotPup as well. That ranks right up there high in my book. I've always loved auto-mount and wished Puppy would do such (mainly because of how I have various caches, email, and backups all in one partition), and Hotpup permits me so many various options that I can auto-mount and forget it, or set various other settings and features. It's amazing!

Those have to be two of the best of the many great programmes I've discovered here over the past two years. I love it!

Ah Warren! Just what can I say here? Yet another eye-popper! It's brilliant mate! But hmm... "Take the places of VistaBlack V"? Personally, for me? That would be stretching it a bit.

For me, my all-time favourite would be "VistaBlack V" followed in dead-heat by the "Smooth Sapphire" when ALL the parts are together (meaning the wallpaper, etc.), then followed a very close third by "Breaker51" which I picked up God only knows where. A close 4th is "IceBuntu"---when used with the Human icons and my Ubuntu wallpapers as I've managed to make IceWM look like Gnome very closely with that.

By and large though I've been mainly sticking with Mint and another Linux I threw together myself based upon an .rpm system with a kernel by Texstar and in both these distros I've been doing my own desktops with bits n' pieces in their respective repos. Keeps me and my 4 wheeler out of the bars at night. LOL!

Thanks again for yet another truly beautiful work of art Warren! That's two I've got sitting here now in backup which means later I'll have to reboot and install them, eh?

Keep up the fabulous work Warren! For people like me who have to sit in front of a computer for 16 hours 7 days a week you make things truly exciting---and you of all people know that I mean that mate!

Enjoy!_________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

I have modified dvw86's original Abby theme to look a bit like the latest Macintosh style. If you want the background to go with it, let me know and I'll upload it here. Positioning the taskbar is done with IceWM Config and of course you'll need Dougal's Wbar for the launcher.

Edit: Now includes the Leopard wallpaper and Gekos-Leopard Gtk theme._________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

And the Theme Master has struck once again! All I can do is look at these and say, "WHOA!" WhoDo and stare Words truly do fail me when it comes to trying to review your themes.

I do know that theming for IceWM has sat basically stagnant for years (if you look at places like FreshMeat), so to see someone of your calibre putting out fresh themes and remakes at the rate you do... well... I can imagine that it's breathing new life and interest across the board back into the viability of IceWM as a serious desktop window manager. I've noticed over the past 6 to 8 months how more people outside of Puppydom have come to recognise its quality now and how it's even being included in such serious distros as Mandriva, Debian, and others on their install disks as an alternative to KDE/Gnome.

Thank you so much for sharing my friend! Oh yeah, and if I may? Personally I think the wallpaper should be included in Abby-Mac.pet for those who don't have it and would like it. If I remember correctly running it through mtPaint and saving it as a .jpg at 85% quality (which is the level I save most of my .jpgs) really knocked down the kilobytes on that file without noticeable degredation, but I could be wrong and thinking of another you'd sent me in the past.

Personally I think the wallpaper should be included in Abby-Mac.pet for those who don't have it and would like it.

Oh, all right... I've updated the dotpet in the original post to include the Leopard wallpaper and Gekos-Leopard Gtk theme, but only because YOU asked for it, jimmi! _________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

Thanks for mentioning that Mark---though I'm sure we've both made Warren's day with all these .pet redo's, eh? LOL! (NOT!)

Nice that we can all be such wonderful friends here though and get away with a little razzing n' teasing from time to time, isn't it? Humour! It makes Life so much more enjoyable by far!

Actually Warren, you didn't have to include the wallpaper for MOI. As you may recall I already have that magnificent piece of work thanks to you! (Oh!---and far from scare the kiddos, they adored it! But they're the type who'd pet a bear if I said it was safe. LOL!) Granted, I don't have the exact one because of the logo on this one but I like mine well enough as it came directly from a mate of mine.

By the way Warren: I've brought over into my 3.0.1 from Mint and then the "Linux I threw together" both the "Darklooks" and "Aurora-Midnight" GTK2 themes & widgets, etc., and have been having a lot of fun with those! A lot of these dark themes you've made for IceWM recently, such as the "Dark Sapphire", go wonderfully with "Darklooks" and your "VistaBlackV" goes excellent with "Aurora-Midnight" as the black and blue accents are nearly a perfect match. Stunning!
